To the next generation of spatial data infrastructures.

A new vision to the production, management and distribution of spatial data where grid technology joins geographical data inventory and query systems, carried out collaboratively with best-known open source projects.

Terradue works to exploit and strengthen best practices in distributed data processing, archiving and discovery for Earth sciences, finance and medicine. Our emphasis is on the immediate delivery of robust operational systems while keeping a concrete roadmap to build the next generation data processing and storage systems.

The Rai Tre's Okkupati show dedicated its 3rd August emission to the ITECHSPAZIO program. Presenting this program from the BIC Lazio (Bussiness Innovation Centre of Lazio Region) and the European Space Agency (ESA), the broadcast shows the integrated pre-incubation and incubation actions that enable the transformation of advance research ideas and concepts into successful business ventures. Terradue was the first company selected and shown as a successful example of the ITECHSPAZIO program.

Fabrice Brito (one of Terradue's founders) presents how we created and developed the company in 2006 with ESA technological consulting and BIC Lazio support for business plan development. The show explains how we developed services and products based on Grid Technology to institutions, companies and research groups based on Grid technology. This technology connects computers, data archives, software, scientific sensors and many more instruments linking worldwide users in a virtual community. Terradue's Gridify application integration environment allows our users to access, share and collaborate in real-time. This software, developed by Terradue, is a generic and configurable environment for developing services in the Grid.

Previously we looked at how, in the abstract, an OpenSearch-based approach could meet the INSPIRE requirements for discovery services. In this article Jo offers some reflections on how we got to our prototype implementation of an OpenSearch interface to a geospatial metadata repository. [...]

Terradue has released the very first public version of duetopia as open source and hosted in google code pages. This version presents the initial implementation of the libraries to provide import and export from common standard formats into a shared model (ISO 19115, ISO 19139, FGDC, RDF/XML) [...]

During the 3rd through 5th of June, 2008, the BEinGRID project will be hosting its Industry Days in Barcelona, Spain, in a shared venue at the Barceló Hotel Sants with the 23rd Open Grid Forum Conference (OGF23). The event will highlight the best of BEinGRID, the European Union’s largest integrated project funded by the Information Society Technologies (IST) research through the sixth research Framework Programme (FP6), including selected demos of the current 18 Business Experiments, as well as key guest speakers from the software and services industry.
